Getting Started

Step 1: Position your computer and display

Pick up the computer by both of its handles using correct lifting techniques. If your display is heavy, use correct lifting techniques when positioning it as well. Position the computer and display so that:

They are on sturdy, flat surfaces

The power cable connectors don"t press against a wall or other object The airflow in front of, behind, or below the display or computer is not obstructed The computer"s optical drive tray has space to open in front The only way to shut off power completely to your computer and display is to disconnect their power plugs from the power source. Make sure the power cords for your computer and display are within easy reach so that you can unplug the computer or display when you need to.

Step 2: Plug in the power cord

Plug the power cord firmly and completely into the recessed power cord socket on the back of the computer and plug the other end into a grounded outlet or a grounded power strip.

Warning:

Step 3: Connect the display

Connect your display as shown in the illustration below. Depending on the display, you may have one or more cables to connect. Check the instructions that came with the display for additional setup information. You can connect two displays with Digital Visual interface (DVI) connectors to the display ports on the back of your Power Mac G5.

You can connect a:

20- or 23-inch display, such as the 20- or 23-inch Apple Cinema Display, in either port

30-inch display, such as the 30-inch Apple Cinema Display, in DVI port 1

You can also connect displays that have an Apple Display Connector (ADC) or a video graphics array (VGA) connector, or you can connect a video device using one of the following display adapters: To connect a VGA display, use a DVI to VGA Adapter (included with your Power Mac G5) to connect the display to the DVI port. To connect an ADC display, use a DVI to ADC Adapter (not included) to connect the display to the DVI port.

Getting Started

Need Help Setting Up?

If you don"t see anything on your screen or you think your computer did not start up properly, check the following: Is the computer plugged into a power source? If it"s plugged into a power strip, is the power strip turned on? Is the power cord securely plugged into the back of the computer? Are the keyboard and display cables connected correctly? Is the display turned on? Are the brightness and contrast controls on the display adjusted correctly? If your display has brightness and contrast controls, adjust them. If you still don"t see anything on your screen, restart your computer. Press and hold the computer"s power button for approximately 5 seconds until the computer turns off. Press it again to turn on the computer. If you see a blinking question mark on the screen or see a series of flashes from the status light when you turn on the computer, see Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting," on page 69.

Next Steps

The first time you turn on your computer, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet and email information and set up an account on your computer. If you have another Mac, Setup Assistant can also help you transfer files, applications, and other information from your old Mac to your new Power Mac G5.

Transferring Information to Your Power Mac G5

You can use Setup Assistant to automatically transfer information from another Mac to your new Power Mac G5. To transfer information, make sure of the following: Your other Mac must have built-in FireWire and support FireWire Disk Mode. Your other Mac must have Mac OS X v10.1 or later installed. You must have a FireWire cable to connect the two computers. Setup Assistant takes you through the process of transferring your information-just follow the onscreen instructions. Transferring information to your Power Mac G5 does not affect the information on your other Mac. You can transfer:

User accounts, including preferences and email

Network settings so that your new computer is automatically set up to work with the same network settings as your other Mac The Applications folder so that the applications you used on your other Mac are now on your new Power Mac G5 (you may have to reinstall some of the applications you transfer) Files and folders stored on your hard disk. This gives you easy access to the files and folders you used on your old Mac.

Chapter 1

Getting Started

11 If you don"t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up your Power Mac G5, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. Open the Applications folder, open Utilities, and double-click the Migration Assistant icon. Note: If you transfer information later using Migration Assistant, make sure FileVault is turned off on the older computer. To turn off FileVault, choose Apple (?) > System Preferences, click Security, and follow the onscreen instructions. Setting Up Your Power Mac G5 to Connect to the Internet If you didn"t transfer your user account and network settings information, Setup Assistant takes you through the process of configuring your Power Mac G5 and setting it up to connect to the Internet. For home users, Internet access requires an account with an Internet service provider (ISP) and fees may apply. If you have an Internet account, see Appendix C, "Connecting to the Internet," on page 89 for information you"ll need to enter.
